Once again Valeo ceases to amaze me. This time, I called to setup an appt and get refills cause I am out, like I've done for years now. This time Im told that I won't get meds until my appointment 2 days from now. I'll admit I should of called earlier for refills but this is a first of denying me my meds. Why is it so hard to give me refills? I was previously told that my provider only works M-W so I have to call on Fridays. And I have missed every darn Friday for like the last month cause I'm working. So after I setup the appt. I and am told to leave a message on the refill line and they MIGHT get to it. FYI, I called 2 hours before they close, not the last 10 mins. Now I wait to see if I'm gonna have to miss 2 days work cause my head won't be right without my effexor. "Dizzyness and brain zaps" Thanks for implementing new procedures that make no sense without telling anyone, Good job Valeo!!

Don t even need to say anything! Edit: if your looking for counseling or a psych evaluation do not go here. You can look people in the eyes and tell them the truth and they will still not hear you. They will slander you and call you a liar and label you as things you aren't. The internet is honestly a better place to look for counseling and or tips on how to work on trauma and your life. I wish I could tell someone or put a lawsuit from my experience, but if you can't trust someone professionally who can you trust. CB

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

The length, intensity, setting, and treatment methods vary for each drug rehab in Kansas. Plans of care can be tailored to meet each person's own unique situation and needs. With the right program, individuals can successfully achieve long-term sobriety.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I heard many people say that it is really common to get misdiagnosed in here. Scheduling your appointment is not the way how it works here, you have to call first thing 8 AM and wait so they can file yours for that day, but if you are not lucky enough then good luck next day ... Read More

I needed a psych evaluation for a school overseas that I had been planning for two years. Spoiler alert: the help I received was anything but. The lady who evaluated me didn t bother to communicate that she wasn t approving me. Instead, she had me release the evaluation to my school, where I discovered surprise, surprise that she labeled me with possible schizophrenic tendencies and deemed my dream of studying abroad as impulsive. Let s set the record straight: I definitely don t have any schizophrenic tendencies. Apparently, my personal belief structure, which includes appreciating the magic in everyday life like admiring a sunset or marveling at dew on grass was too much for her to handle. But hey, the good news is that I made it to my school without Valeo s help, and it s been an amazing experience so far. No schizophrenic episodes yet imagine that!What s even better? She was more than happy to have me come back for a medication management evaluation or whatever they re called. Clearly, she wanted me on drugs instead of taking a moment to understand my perspective. Maybe Valeo should hire staff with actual empathy instead of those who lazily tick boxes. This whole experience was a total waste of time and a couple hundred bucks. Oh, and while I was waiting, I saw them turn away multiple people in crisis. So, if you re looking for a place that genuinely cares, I d recommend looking elsewhere.

I've been going to Valeo for about three years now and have had mostly bad experiences. From uncaring nurse practiononers stripping me of much needed meds, to therapists who where highly unprofessional. Another example of their incompetence is that I've signed to get my records turned over to another clinic and they have been unnecessarily difficult with this process, the clinic has sent requests to their exact records department TWICE and they keep telling me they haven't received these requests.Its been weeks. Its an urgent matter and i am at my wits end with them. I would highly recommend searching for help elsewhere if you need it, as they don't seem to know what they're doing. Or are just refusing to do their jobs.

I'm so upset. The receptionist kept cutting me off and trying to rush me. She then reprimanded me for not being able to make an appointment until now. When I tried to explain she cut me off and kept saying she was just a receptionist and I didn't need to explain. Then she kept treating me like garbage and refusing to let me explain myself. I called the manager and she was very helpful. I think they need to find better receptionists. I am physically disabled and have a lot of mental health issues. This woman treating me like dirt didn't help.
